Corrections

We are in need of fiancial support to provide training on smarter sentencing to corrections professionals in our area

Due to the growth and changing demographics of our municipality - as well as the relatively inexperienced tenure of our supervisors and managers - the Tempe Police Department has recognized a great need to increase the amount of leadership and supervisory training provided to the current and future leaders of our organization.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is seeking the assistance of the National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) in procuring four SMCOV Inclusive Leadership Courses.

The Inclusive Leadership Courses are being sought to provide a comprehensive leadership training regimen for command level employees within our agency. It is intended to develop agency leaders in formulating and sustaining community outreach programs. The program strengths will complement the Blue Courage training program currently being instructed agency wide.

Glendale (AZ) Police Department requests Blue Courage training.

We would like to receive training from the National Resource Center on Justice Involved Women on gender specific case management. The Justice Grants Administration (JGA) proposes piloting a case management program inside of the Central Treatment Facility (CTF), beginning October, 2013, for women currently incarcerated for misdemeanor sentences with a minimum of 30 days in jail. The goal of the program is to reduce recidivism among women inmates, by providing case management and discharge planning.

The Center for Public Safety and Justice (CPSJ), located within the University of Illinois, proposed to work with the University of Memphis to complete a BJA-approved national curriculum on the topic of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for police professionals. This engagement was subsequently transferred to CNA after the key curriculum developer accepted a position with CNA.

There are now two dedicated ICIS trainers whose primary resposnsibility is to train staff in four ICIS endorsed curricula: LSI-R, MI, COG/CBT, and CCW (Collaborative Casework). Assistance is needed to provide a T4T in the LSI-R and CCW for these two trainers. T4T's in MI and COG are being provided in house. There is additionally and currently a training cadre for ICIS to provide training to staff in the four curricula although workload is a great challenge as the training cadre consists of existing staff with other primary duties and responsibilities and not dedicated trainers.

Interested in funding available for Blue Courage training. BJA NTTAC referred this request to CICP.

Our agency is representing this training request for the law enforcement agencies within our regional association, which includes three counties on the western border of Arizona (Mohave, LaPaz, and Yuma Counties). We would like to host this training for multiple agencies (approx. 20) as we are the central location for our regional academy and association. We would like NTTAC's assistance in providing the training "Blue Courage" to all of our officers over a multiple day format to allow our agencies to cycle our officers through the program.

The Ohio Parole Board has discretionary releasing authority over a portion of the prison population that is comprised of offenders serving sentences for the most serious crimes. Specifically, approximately 50% of the offenders heard are convicted of a Homicide offense including Aggravated Murder, Murder and Manslaughter. Another 30% of those offenders heard by the Board are convicted of a sex offense. In it release decision making, the Board utilizes a risk instrument (ORAS) that is predictive of the general risk of an offender to reoffend.
